"The Black Scholar," April 1970 Issue, "Colonies or City States?"

In 1969, in the wake of a growing interest in Black American history and culture, Robert Christman and Nathan Hare -- former professors from San Francisco State College -- started The Black Scholar. It was the first scholastic journal that focused on Black, Africana, and Diaspora studies. The Black Scholar has published papers and other works by famous academics, political thinkers, and authors.
